Until this summer's finale when Shawn and Juliet shared a rather serious kiss. This complicates things on several levels. Juliet is currently seeing Declan (
Nestor Carbonell), and the show has already been renewed for a sixth season. If the two actually do make it official, can they stretch the relationship out over another 23 episodes?

We'll have a much better idea after the Nov. 10 mid-season premiere, "Extradition II: The Actual Extradition Part," which sees Shawn (sort of) coming clean about his feelings.
